Random bitchiness...
Oct. 24th, 2004 01:41 amI can't seem to form too many coherent thoughts these days, so you guys get the runoff.
Currently getting over a lovely case of bronchitis. It showed up a bit early this year. I'm blaming the freakish rainstorms. Freakish in the fact that it NEVER rains in Southern California. In spite of all evidence to the contrary I will continue to proclaim this.
The reason I mention the bronchitis is so that I can lay blame for anything to follow that might bite me in the ass on the medication.
My roommate and I were having a conversation in the car the other night about our personalities. We're very similar in a lot of ways. One of them being 'what you see is what you get' personality wise with us. I've never had a lot of patience for playing games with people or acting nice towards them solely for the purpose of appearances. Many will say (and have said) that this makes me a bitch. Know what? I'm fine with that. I only care what people think about me to the degree that I want them to get it right. If I'm pissed and they're within the vicinity, chances are they'll know it. I just don't have the time or energy to go through the whole dance of explaining to people why I'm not really mad at them even though for whatever reason they think I am.
I really get the fact that everyone has different sensitivities and different need levels, but I'm just feeling like I'm the one who always has to adjust lately.

Oh, honey - *genius* comment (IMO)... and something that I totally love about you. I sure as hell would rather hang out with an honest "bitch" than someone wearing a Stepford-like mask just to "all get along."
Hope you feel better soon!

OK, babbling here........
